Living life with love + intention

OH EM GEE addicting!!! These peanut butter chocolate energy bites are a huuuuuuuge hit Every. Single. Time. I make them for a social gathering. They’re so ridiculously good you’ll think they’re loaded with bad stuff, but you’ll be surprised because it’s jam packed with healthy goodness. Chances are you already have all the ingredients in your […]

Spicy, tangy + hearty with an asian flare. If you avoid fish because you can’t stand the taste, you’ll love these salmon cakes because they’re packed full of flavour without the fishiness. There is also very little prep, and they’re so versatile you can have them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Soooooo easy but incredibly tasty! Spicy […]

I have to admit, I really hate saying goodbye to summer. But as much as I dread fall in Raincouver, I do love the beautiful colours of this season and the thing I secretly look forward to are hearty recipes made with pumpkins + squash. Thai Butternut Squash soup is so comforting on a cold, […]

Are you guilty of having a sweet tooth? I’ve always been a savoury kinda gal, but ever since the holidays and giving in to one too many sweet treats at various parties and get-togethers I’m finding that I’m going through a bit of a sugar withdrawal. Recent research is suggesting that SUGAR is the new tobacco, […]

I don’t know about you, but when the holiday season rolls around, sweets…and LOTS of it…seem to somehow find their way into my tummy. Generally I have a fortress of self-control and can withhold from indulging, but this time of year makes it extremely hard to resist, even though I know how addicting that sugary tastiness is and that my […]

Without a doubt, quinoa has become a staple SUPERFOOD.

Often used as a substitute for rice, quinoa is […]

‘Tis the season for holiday get togethers and potlucks! While I love hanging out with good company and sharing delicious food, often times the special feasts we share have menus with high-fat, high-carb and high-sugar foods which not only pack on the pounds, but makes you feel sluggish, bloated, icky and lie-on-the-couch-don’t-want-to-do-anything-GROSS! I know you know that feeling!! Sometimes […]

Baby, it’s cold outside! And what better way to embrace the dark, gloomy, windy, wet and rainy, snowy, frigid winter season than with a bowl of vibrantly colourful, body and soul warming, comfortably soothing, velvety smooth cup ‘o soup. One of my all-time fave ingredients for a fall/winter soup is butternut squash. 1) Because they are in season […]

It’s been a rainy couple of weeks in beautiful Vancouver and there is nothing better than some hearty comfort food on days when you just want to veg out at home and stay dry…..not to mention steer clear of the nasty cold+flu bug being passed around like a hot potato. One of my all-time favorite […]

If you are anything like me, mornings are your least fave part of the day. “Just 5 more minutes” is what you keep telling yourself as you press snooze on your alarm for the 7th time. And by the time you finally roll out of bed and get ready, you have no time left to make […]
